December 4th - Ep 027

<p>Song: December 4th</p> <p>Album: The Black Album.</p> <p>Lyrics: <a href="https://genius.com/Jay-z-december-4th-lyrics">https://genius.com/Jay-z-december-4th-lyrics</a></p> <p>Synopsis:</p> <p>"My gear is in and I'm in the in-crowd<br> And all the wavy light-skinned girls is lovin' me now"</p> <p>After an intense back and forth about what song to use for this episode, Mos finally convinced Frankie to rock with December 4th, solely because of the above mentioned bar. &nbsp;Love Jay to death, but is he saying getting a light skinned chic is the epitome of "winning"? &nbsp;Colorism has always been a huge topic of discussion in not only the black community, but in most communities of people of color. &nbsp;One only need to look at Telemundo hosts to see that rarely are Latinos of a darker hue showcased. &nbsp;It goes so much deeper, from the paper bag tests in the African American community, down to the skin bleaching in West Africa and the Caribbean, colorism is a thing that clearly affects many cultures. &nbsp;Today Mos and Frankie attempt to give their take and shed a little light on this topic, which is back at the forefront of popular culture due to Serena Williams' most recent, lighter hued, Instagram post.</p>

4:44 - Ep 026

<p><strong>Song</strong>: 4:44&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Album</strong>: 4:44&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Lyrics</strong>: https://genius.com/Jay-z-4-44-lyrics&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Synopsis</strong>:&nbsp;</p> <p>This week gave us our newest inductee to the Billionaire Divorced Boyz Club with the announcement that Bill and Melinda Gates are ending their marriage of over 20 years. &nbsp;This got Frankie G and Mos thinking, what does it take to make a marriage actually work, while a lot of people in our generation might think money makes things easier, clearly Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Dr. Dre, and a host of others have shown us that millions and billions of dollars clearly isn't doesn't guarantee a successful marriage. &nbsp; Given all the divoreces going on, we of course took it to the Jay catalog to see what Young Hov had to say about it, and of course 4:44, the title track from Jay's last solo album. &nbsp;It's crazy to hear how far Jay has come, when you look back at the lyrics for tracks like Big Pimpin' to the family man you hear on 4:44. &nbsp;We also give our views on what we think may make a successful marriage based on our observations of our parents, friends and just people in general. Get ready to sit back and hear the thoughts on marriage of two guys who haven't been married but definitely hope to get married one day!</p>
